Description
A simple recipe for creamy lobster orzo cooked in a single pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add shallot and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the orzo pasta and toast for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed.
- Add the broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be mostly absorbed before adding the next cup. This should take about 15-20 minutes until the orzo is tender.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, lobster meat, and Parmesan cheese.
- Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Do not boil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked lobster meat for faster preparation.
- If you do not have white wine, substitute with an equal amount of broth.
